Celebrity Big Brother bosses have officially axed the livestream of the series for the first two days of the show.

While the feed has often proved to be one of the more popular elements of the show, especially as the housemates get to know their fellow competitors, the Daily Star initially reported that there is no gap in the TV schedule to allow it.

There is also no repeat of the previous night’s episode the following day, which has also become a regular fixture on the schedule over the past few years.

When approached by Metro.co.uk, CBB bosses said: ‘There’s no space for the live feed programmes on an action-packed launch week but they will return on eviction nights in subsequent weeks.

‘Note that Celebrity Big Brother launch night already features three hours of unmissable Big Brother content including an extended launch show and Big Brother’s Bit on the Side.’

With just two weeks to go until the first show of the new (and potentially last) series airs, viewers have been left a little less than happy over the announcement.

As always, they have taken to Twitter about the potential cancellation for the series.

‘Got to be said – with no live feed and not even any repeats, Channel 5’s scheduling of Celebrity Big Brother’s new series doesn’t exactly inspire hope for the future. Deserves more of a push given the big changes behind the scenes,’ wrote one.

Another wrote: ‘Can’t see any live feed even on launch night strange unless it’s going to be online.’

‘No live feed.. no repeats of launch.. I will guess that the decision to axe the show has been made after all and Channel 5 are simply riding out the contract,’ a third said.

‘NO live feed? BOTS scheduled at 11pm with filler rubbish on after #CBB? NO repeats the next day for people to catch up, or even during the night like usual? Even the TERRIBLY cropped Instagram post has p****d me off lol,’ added a fourth.

Celebrity Big Brother premieres on 16 August on Channel 5.
